Everything else you posted is above my pay-grade.
but anecdotally I think what you said about Gasoline in Iran being almost lead free is not accurate.
if you go virtually all gas stations in Iran the one single pump that is labeled Super Gasoline and the other one that is labeled "Unleaded Gasoline" are mere minority of the pumps in the gas station.
Indeed 99% percent of the times those pumps are not busy.
Because Samands, Persias, Prides, Peykans, Nissan Bars all pump at the Normal pumps.

There is young very clever and qvick generation in Iran that are much more talented than the last generation and is able to direct Iran to a better direction.
It is also possible that the coutry fell in hands of undemocratic and corrupted people once again. But I am almost sure that the new government will stay away
from IIslam and khorfat to obtain some populaity.
But I think IR stands strong in Iran the next 10 years or more

Azizjan, you said it yourself and pretty much agreed with me! It's the cars and plants that are causing the pollution and unless 12-15 million people stop using their cars, there's nothing that can be done about Tehran's air.
What are we going to do? Require people to use electric cars? Good luck with that. Require them to use public transit? Not in a 1000 years. For public transit (Metro) to be sufficient it needs to be 100 times its current size, and even then most people are simply unwilling to give up their cars.
Iran's whole economy actually depends on Tehran being the way it is. Without Tehran being a dirty clusterfuck of humans swarming its streets, the face of Iran's economy will drastically change. There is so much at stake that it's just impossible to untie the knots just for the sake of air-pollution.
Tehran will remain the way it is for the foreseeable future regardless of who governs Iran.

It is these generic statements that I'm often amused by.
Azizjan, how about some scientific reasoning or data to back up your optimistic claim here? The talent and intelligence delta is rarely significant from generation to generation. That's a biological fact.
If anything, the newer generation in Iran is a danger to its near future because it has had no 'point of reference' for Iran's days of doom or glory. It hasn't seen the pre-revolution days, nor has it experienced the devastation brought upon by the war. It's a generation of empty words, empty promises and religious propaganda fed by the education system, the media and even their own parents since birth.

I disagree and more importantly refuse to give in. What kind of bachehe Tehroon are you? but seriously there are things that can be done starting with making all vehicles natural gas driven. If IR invests on that as much as they have done in Lebanon we would have cleaned Tehran's air by now. It is doable.....one of few things that is in fact doable.....is it going to be easy - no - will it take time - yes......but it is doable.
Do they allow scientific research about these things in Iran? These are all what we have been told but there are also evidence that it s true.
I know lots of IT firms Who employ iranians inside to find soluions for their software. They are cheep and work as good as indians. The green movement was inspired by young Iranians something you never saw from the elder generation. Who destroyed it? the old generation likes of sazgara, Norizadeh Mosavi,...
They have learned from the last generations mistakes but they dont get ride of them.
The new generation don't need a relation to Iran's days of doom or glory. All they need is a connection to modern countries. The same way we were Integrated in west they will also integrate in to modern countries.

بكشيد مادر قحبه را...

من ١٢ سالم بود كه پدرم منو به زور به تماشاي اعدام كسي برد كه برادرش را كشته بود. اين پايان دوران كودكي من، و شايد پايان انسان بودن پدر من بود. زجر كشيدن يك نفر جلوي چشمانم، هلهله مردم و فرياد هاي پدرم كه مي گفت، "بكشيدش مادر قحبه را" هيچ وقت فراموش نميكنم. چندي پس از آن پدرم معتاد به ترياك شد و دو سال بعد مرد. در حقيقت خودش را كشت. و من... من هر روز به پايان خود مي انديشم و فرياد پدرم، "بكشيد مادر قحبه را..."

In a culture where people can only bring up Sadegh Hedayat as a good writer what else can you expect. Depression, hopelessness and ayeye yas khani is a form of intellectualism in and out of Iran. I always laugh at those who make fun of the nohe khoons and ashura ceremonies for being needlessly emotional while our supposed "roshanfekrs" do nothing but complain and never provide "real" solutions besides nasl koshi, too sar zani, foshe madar khahari...
It was only enhanced a thousandfold no thanks to our well meaning but misguided leftists.

Fatsos attitude is part of the problem of this country. I have never seen any other country, where the intellectuall elite of it, has to deal with so much hostility from the dumb and ordinary. Really, this has been a major factor for why Atatürk could rescue turkey while no one could stop iran from going down the gutter further and further. Iran didnt have many elite personalities but those few we had, got harrased, killed and defamed by a dumb majority. This sentence "roshanfekr" haa felaan karda, "intellektuell" haa besaar kardan, is a typcial iranian badbakhti. Someone needs to tell them if those guys were responsible for all that shit, than they werent roshanfekr at all, then Iran doesnt have one single roshanfekr because this country is a mess and the mess we are witnessing today, is based on the shit that happened decades or even centuries ago. this roshanfekr bashing is fatal. That creates a culture that even a real roshanfekr would have to face hostility from a reactionary and dumb mob because its a culture, its part of mentalitiy now. That leads to the culture of killing elite people instead of creating them.
Yes, today, there is not much hope for this country and i dont have to come up with any utopical solutions just to please the mob. Fact is, this country is down on its knees and i dont see how they could get up because the problems are not superficial and are not some little stuff that could be ironed out here and there. Irans problems are deep, deep rooted, old and nearly impossible to correct within the next 50 or even 100 years.
